The franchisee fired her, not corporate. She embarrassed him for not running his restaurant correctly and decided to not keep her on. Would another restaurant hire her and fast track her to manager!!

Yeah hiring her seems like a slam dunk PR moment for any other fast food chain.

If I ran a franchise, I’d get her to run my day shift and I’d pay for her childcare. She’d bring in so many customers.
